Universal Solar Services, LLC

What this record tells you

Universal Solar Services, LLC holds Florida licence CVC56980, a CVC classification which authorises work as a certified solar contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 47% of the 30 active solar licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 11 years of continuous licensure.

Universal Solar Services, LLC is one of 3 active solar licences registered to an address in Sun City Center, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jerry Alexander Taracek additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
